Hannia Burke-Aguero , LPC

Hannia Burke-Aguero is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a compassionate, collaborative approach to mental health care. She focuses on helping people identify patterns and obstacles that affect their day-to-day functioning and works with each person to create realistic, meaningful change. As a bilingual and bicultural practitioner fluent in English and Spanish, she draws on both personal and clinical experience to foster a welcoming environment where individuals feel respected and supported.

Her practice emphasizes evidence-based techniques tailored to the needs of each person, addressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and major life transitions. She also works with attachment-related challenges, caregiver stress, communication problems, and trauma-related conditions among other areas. Hannia’s method combines practical skills-building with compassionate motivation to help clients regain balance and move toward their goals.

Outside of her clinical work, she enjoys spending time with family and her grandchildren and finds renewal through exercise, cooking, gardening, interior remodeling and decorating, cultural learning, and travel. Her clinical outlook is grounded in empathy, persistence, and a belief that steady, guided effort supports long-term well-being.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Online Support

Hannia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective strategies - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness practices are incorporated to build present-moment awareness and coping skills, helping clients manage emotional reactivity and everyday stress. Motivational Interviewing is another option she employs to support change by exploring a person’s own values and goals and strengthening their motivation to act - it can be useful for life transitions and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hannia partners with each person to assess needs, priorities, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time to find the best fit for the client’s goals. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy or changing lives. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, evidence-based support while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
